I also use them to form an initial impression of someone, although my opinion will change based on their posts. But I don't think about it much, I just scroll past the ones I don't like. The ones that I dislike are those that distract from the conversation - if they abuse color, are Extra Large, or have pictures or borders around text (I really appreciate sblocks though <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). For those of you that have sigs like that, before you get defensive, remember it distracts from the points you are trying to make, too. If it's a quote or reference I don't get, I don't pay much attention.  Mine I chose back just before Dave Arneson died; I'd been searching for a Gygax quote to put in my sig but I couldn't find a good one that I hadn't seen in someone else's sig.  So I figured, what the heck, an Arneson quote is good too. And it's nice to know that new DM/GMs have been thinking that since the beginning - and being proved wrong (in a good way) by uncooperative players LOL. I think it is important if you're going to put a quote in your sig that you provide a little context if it's not apparent and needed in order to understand the context. Like the broccoli quote - I remember the ads, now that someone's said something, but not just from the quote by itself.</blockquote>
